Administrative and Maintenance Tools - [DBTech] vBSecurity v2 (vB3)

vBSecurity: What is it?
vBSecurity keeps a watchful eye over your forum even when you are not there, and has the capability to alert you of any suspicious activity.

Uses

vBSecurity is the ideal product for forums that are concerned about security, or wish to be alerted when something suspicious happens.
It keeps a watchful eye on your configuration file, ensuring that it does not get modified by mods or plugins.
Another important feature is the ability to add a secondary login, unique to each administrator, that is required before accessing the AdminCP. Ideal for forums where multiple administrators may share login information, or where administrators may log in from public computers.
Add in quick settings for the most vital vBulletin Options and Usergroup password settings, vBSecurity can easily be called one of the most comprehensive security suites for your vBulletin forum.

I just installed this and it went in like a charm. I was very careful to read everything and pay particular attention to all the options and warnings. Thanxx for such a fine Modification! I plan on using it for awhile to learn more of what-all it's capable of, then perhaps moving on up to the PRO version.

One question, the mod states:

Lite
* Security Watcher Actions: 2 thresholds with individual configuration options, IP Ban / User Ban / Email Webmaster / Close Forum options available for each Watcher option listed above. Some watcher options may not have all actions.

What does some watcher options may not have all actions mean?

The only issue I've found is when the Ban IP Address box is checked, it doesn't seem to perform the function. I am assuming the newly banned IP Addresses should appear in the standard Banned IP Addresses box of the vBulletin Options, or are they entered somewhere else?(...that I can't seem to locate )

I have the vb4 version and it does not add you need to do it manually

[adwade]

Does the PRO Version add Banned IP Addresses automatically, or is it manual as well?

[DragonByte Tech]

Both versions add it manually. The only way it does not, is if either you didn't configure a number of intrusions needed for a ban to trigger, or the IP address is already in the banned IPs list.
